    I suggested this like 10times, Server capped, Room capped, Room settings for limited pings and so, and some guy banned me for that L.

    Yeah, I support on the Room Option to be able to chose what ping limit the room should have.

    Yea, I'm hoping people will stay on topic and not start hatin on people. I'd like to keep this open as long as possible so other people can state their opinions.

    Cuz after all it's just opinions. The final decision will first and foremost be Z8's... or smilegates or a mods..
  • Shoulda made this later tonight. Would have had more replies.

    Automatic and dynamic ping regulation.

    If a random host can change the restriction, it could have some result that he can not imagine. Say, he set 50, but because it is midnight and other 50 ping players are in other game, he will lose patience and might leave, the room will be closed.

    If a room's ping restriction is set during room is set up, the room might be closed very quickly.

    My idea, which i have explain in some other thread, is like this:

    1. Before game start or a player want to join a room, the average ping of each player is calculated and saved.
    2. The average (ping-bar) and standard deviation (delta-ping) ping of all the players (ready or in game) in the room is calculated.
    3. The ping whose ping is larger than 150 and is greater than ping-bar + 3 * delta-ping will be kicked for large ping. Number 3 is just an example, and should be adjusted for better result.

    So we can see, the restriction is only for huge ping (over 150). Once the lower ping players out numbered, the high ping players will be kicked gradually and low pinger can join freely.

    Once low ping player are very limited, it is reasonable that they have to play with high pingers (otherwise, they can only play 1 vs 1, or by themselves). High pinger can join the game, the majority of the player will be happy.


    Maybe this can be an option additional to fixed ping regulation.

    But what if he has 151 ping or/ he has spikes everybody spikes once in a while that means if i have my normal ping which is 48 and i spike to like 150 i get kicked ?
  • Low ping,high ping, it don't matter the reg still fails.Just move b hopping and you tank,jump around like a mad man when your being fired and you tank :) tip: use spop or star for additional mind trick

    To calculate your average ping, we need to do it for like 5 seconds or 100 ping attempt. If at the moment you ping keeps a large number, you might consider to log in another time, right?

    If you just has 2 or 3 2000 ping among while others are 50, and we suppose totally 100 attempt are averaged, then you have about 90-110 ping in average, which can still keeps you in.

    Back to the basic idea, I agree that ping need to be regulated, no matter which way. Otherwise, some 500+ player can still insist to play, and because they are not hacking or insult anyone, we will feel guilty to kick them :)

    So I understand why I can not kill the jumping snipers when they are in air. I am sure it should be a kill, but it seems did nothing at all.

    But we are off topic now.
  • i dont really know if this could work, cuz everybody has those days when they start spiking because of bad internet connection, streaming movies, downloads, or cheap internet.

    so you would just disconnecct a bunch of times or u would have to go to the lagg-capped servers lol

    The can average the latest 100ping. The spike will be filtered out if your connection are fast most of the time.
    Streaming movies with p2p will create lots of burden to your router and network. When any one in ur local is watching p2p video or doing p2p download, you should expect a huge enough ping, in which you can only be killed.
  • Interesting ideas.. I wish Saidin had time to reply. Maybe let us know if it is or isn't possible.. and explain.. Cuz UrNxT likes explainations. :D
  • good idear if this was guna happen it would have to be looked into tested and would it make the game better or lose players? like u could be a all country clan kinda thing and do a clanwar and half ya team kiked? so yer it would need some good thinking

  • I would say 200 pings as a limit.
    If you are 200 pings during more than 5-10 seconds, bam, your kicked.

    150 pings could be a better limit, but i think it is a bit too restrictive. But I won't mind having it.
  • I think there should be a ping limit on cretin serves.

    There should be servers designated for people from North America, UK, south America and Asia. There should be a server for mixing as well (playing with your friends from other countries & clan servers).

    For example:
    Alpha - Mixed Server One
    Bravo - Mixed Server Two
    Echo - North America only
    Charlie - Asia

    And so on! This would be awesome i think.
  • Ping limit in rooms is stupid, if you complain about "said" player having high ping.. it's a disadvantage to him, not you. If you have trouble fragging on a player with almost triple (depending on what your ping is) your ping, why are you even playing this game? You've got the blatant advantage and you're complaining about his disadvantages?

    ****ing idiots.
  • Ban people with 130+ ping from servers and you're done.

    Learn to play the game and you wouldn't have such a biased opinion towards players who aren't as close to 'said' server as others.
